In 1899 Max Planck first wrote about fundamental or natural units based on the constants within physics and mathematics. Ignored for over a century, it wasn’t until Frank Wilczek wrote a series of articles, Scaling Mt. Planck (Physics Today) did the scholarly community begin to pay attention to Planck’s 1899 work. Today these Planck units are a core starting point for science. In December 2011 a simple-but-highly-integrated model began to emerge. It is yet to be critically reviewed by the scholarly community. In April 2016 it became a horizontal chart so each Planck base unit could be more easily followed. It will be fitting if all the unanswered questions of the big bang are revisited in the light of “the simple model” (also introduced in the box below).

Within LinkedIn, there is a theoretical physics group of about 36,200 members. On Sunday, October 23, 2016, I posted a few questions for discussion (just below). Later that day a similar post was entered within the quantum physics group of about 30,000 members.
